8 Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, ^{▼▼tn Heb “all [you] workers of wickedness.” See Ps 5:5.}
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. ^{▼▼sn The Lord has heard. The psalmist’s mood abruptly changes because the Lord responded positively to the lament and petition of vv. 1-7 and promised him deliverance.}
9 The Lord has heard my appeal for mercy;
the Lord has accepted ^{▼▼tn The prefixed verbal form is probably a preterite here; it is parallel to a perfect and refers to the fact that the Lord has responded favorably to the psalmist’s request.} my prayer.
